  • Greg Dortch WR | BUF

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Contributes mostly on special teams

    Dortch hauled in his only target for minus-2 yards, returned three punts for 30 yards, had two kick returns for 44 yards and recorded a tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's 20-13 victory at New Orleans.

    Dortch was busy on his limited snap count (10 on offense, nine on special teams), but his offensive snap share (15 percent) was a distant fourth among Cardinals wide receivers behind Marvin Harrison (89 percent), Michael Wilson (67 percent) and Zay Jones (47 percent). Most of Dortch's weekly contributions in 2025 are expected to come outside the offense as long as the aforementioned trio are healthy and available.

  • Anton Harrison OT | JAC

    Jaguars' Anton Harrison: Returns to practice

    Harrison (back) was a full participant in Jacksonville's practice Wednesday.

    Harrison is healthy again after having suffered a back injury during the team's Week 1 win over the Panthers. He should continue to serve as the Jaguars' starting right tackle for Sunday's game versus Cincinnati.

  • Esa Pole OL | KC

    Jets' Esa Pole: Healthy ahead of Week 2

    Pole (ankle) did not appear on the Jets' injury report Wednesday.

    Pole was unavailable for the team's 34-32 loss to the Steelers in Week 1 due to an ankle injury, but it now appears as if he's moved past the issue. The 24-year-old will provide New York with an additional depth option at offensive tackle behind starters Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou in Sunday's contest against the Bills.

  • Trevor Penning OT | LAC

    Saints' Trevor Penning: Still nursing toe injury

    Penning (toe) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

    Penning wasn't able to practice during the week leading up to New Orleans' season opener before missing that contest, and his availability for Week 2 is now in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the 49ers.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Zay Jones: One target in Week 1

    Jones caught his only target for four yards during Sunday's 20-13 win in New Orleans.

    Jones ranked third among Cardinals wide receivers in offensive snap share with 47 percent behind Marvin Harrison (89 percent) and Michael Wilson (67 percent). Unsurprisingly, Harrison led the way with 5-71-1 on six targets, while Jones nearly matched Wilson's 1-5-0 line (on four targets). In an offense dominated by TE Trey McBride, Harrison and RB James Conner when it comes to looks from QB Kyler Murray, Jones is merely provided with scraps with which to produce.

  • Jaguars' Cole Van Lanen: Practices in full Wednesday

    Van Lanen (shoulder) was a full participant in Jacksonville's practice Wednesday.

    Van Lanen is healthy again after having missed the team's Week 1 victory over the Panthers with a shoulder injury. He will likely serve as the backup right tackle behind Anton Harrison for Sunday's matchup versus the Bengals.

  • Patriots' Christian Elliss: Tending to shoulder injury

    Elliss (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Elliss led the Patriots in tackles in Week 1, but his status for Week 2 is now in question due to a shoulder issue he presumably picked up Sunday. He'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Grady Jarrett DT | CHI

    Bears' Grady Jarrett: Estimated as non-participant

    Jarrett (knee) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Bears' walkthrough Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Jarrett played 39 defensive snaps and two snaps on special teams in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings, recording three total tackles (one solo) in the contest. The defensive tackle may have picked up a knee injury in the process, but it's also possible that Wednesday was just a scheduled day off for the veteran. Jarrett's status at practice the rest of the week will provide more clarity to his availability for Week 2 versus Detroit.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Manages one catch in Week 1

    Wilson gathered in one of four targets for five yards during Sunday's 20-13 win at New Orleans.

    Wilson was on the field for 44 of 66 offensive snaps (67 percent), but his 26 routes run yielded little, while top wide receiver Marvin Harrison's 32 routes resulted in a 5-71-1 line on six targets on an 89 percent snap share. At the same time, No. 3 WR Zay Jones (1-4-0) nearly matched Wilson's output on one target and a 47 percent share of plays. The Cardinals consolidate most of the targets among TE Trey McBride (nine on Sunday), Harrison and RB James Conner (four), so Wilson has his work cut out for him to produce weekly.

  • Jeff Okudah CB | MIN

    Vikings' Jeff Okudah: In concussion protocol

    Okudah is in concussion protocol and was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

    Okudah logged 14 defensive snaps Week 1 against Chicago on Monday but was evaluated for a concussion after the contest. He hasn't yet cleared protocol, and he won't be able to practice until he does so. If Okudah is unable to play Sunday against Atlanta, Dwight McGlothern may be asked to log some rotational snaps at cornerback.
